there will be few tears shed at the fate
which befel the play "McSwiggan's Par.

Guiding the Law to Justice.

these few acres of Land. Doubtless If il

president Of the United States would tell
tho tale, 1t would have left the moor

ground, to which 1t had not sure title at

oerikes tho public mind as very great and
there y no one to call in question the wis.
oom OF the president in directing that the
III deed shall not be done.
The attorney general decides that the
raalroad company has right to lay claims
70 iand within sixty miles of each side Of
IL road, In the territories, until it gets an
amount equivalent to a strip forty miles
wide on each side Of the road. 1t is almost
inconceivable, now, that Congress should
ever have been 50 foolish as to give rail.
road company strip of land through the
sefIltories to the Pacific, eighty miles
vide. Certainly no such grant would
now be made; and the forcible suy.
gestion Is that the company should
not have perpetual privilege of selecting
lands in the indemnity strip of twenty
mies' 70 make up any lands in the forty
mie unit that may be unavailable to it.
.ne aetorney general finds that there is
NO I:iit Of time to the exercise
" this privilege. For many wears
all the lands within sixty miles of
the railroad have been withdrawn from
homestead entry, awaiting the pleasure of
the railroad to select its forty mile grant,
ana the government has given its aid to
the preservation of the wilderness. 1t does
seem as though this was misconception
OF the law and that the privilege needed
TO be taken advantage of with diligence.
Certainly after the lapse of years the gov.
eminent would be justified in declaring
that the privilege was cancelled. 1t must
be upon this impression that the pres. dent
has suggested that the secretary of the
interior direct the Northern Pacific to re-.
lease its hold upon land that has been set
tied upon. 1t is true he proposes that
II Shall take other land in lieu of
IL; but II he has the right to direct the
exchange, he has the right to direct the
surrender without exchange.
Perhaps he thinks that the innate Justice |
OF his position is such that the Northern
Pacific people will not incline to dispute its
legality, and will be tractable, in whole.
some dread of public opinion and in fear
that they may get nothing if they do not
take what they are offered. Ard there is
no doubt that the presidents action is suf.
hciently based on law and Justice and
power to be acquiesced in.
